Access Issue: Williamson Rock is currently closed to climbing. Details

Williamson Rock is under a temporary closure to all recreational uses, including climbing, pursuant to a ruling by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that the area is critical habitat for the endangered yellow-legged mountain frog. Efforts by the non-profit organization Friends of Williamson Rock, in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service, are underway to regain climbing access to Williamson. For information on the status of these efforts, and to learn how you can help, contact the Friends of Williamson Rock: williamsonrock.org Per the Access Fund's update, in 2017 the Forest Service hopes to begin an environmental study of the impact of allowing limited climbing to resume. In the meantime, the Forest Service supervisor has extended the closure until January, 2017.

Description

Well worth the somewhat lengthy approach, this suberb wall features a dozen or so quality routes from 5.9 to 5.12c with Generation Gap (5.9), Full Circle (5.10d), The Hired Gun (5.11a), The Shaman (5.11a) and Our Children's Children (5.11c) among the best of the offerings here. Northeast facing with early morning sun and afternoon shade.

Getting There

Hike up up up until you reach the The Pyramid and then make a left and descend rock slabs along a gully, passing the Blue Velvet Buttress on your left, until reaching the wall which is on the right at the bottom of the slope. The approach takes 30-45 minutes from the closest parking area.
